Cheers folks, gone for this - https://www.mymemory.co.uk/aukey-dr02-1080p-dash-cam-18637.html

Direct Lane have recommended one fwiw, saves any he said/she said bollocks with the people who can't see a giant van.

Caught in a crash-for-cash scam, fitted Nextbase cameras after the event to my cars.

Went to court, lost, but the husband-wife team were up again the following day for exactly the same thing and I think lost. The witnesses (the passengers who all claim 30k for medical each) were back home on holiday in Afghanistan so weren't called. Insurance company absolved me, I kept my no claims.

My barrister said that dashcam evidence isn't always as useful as you'd hope, but some evidence is better than nothing.

If you don't have dashcam or do, if it happens to you my advice would be start recording phone video as soon as you get out of the car, film the other car and the people getting out of it. You'll be asked about all those details as will they.

This is what prompted me to get one. Because of my incredible reflexes and god tier driving skill, (or probably luck) I got a slight graze on the side of the rear bumper.

Didn't have the heart for an argument with the other driver when she got out of her car already crying and looking about 8 months pregnant. 🫤 All I could think about was god , please don't go into labour, you really don't want to be giving birth in the back of a Peugeot Expert on the A49.

Ha, got seat covers? 😉

Everyone keeps themselves to themselves here and won't dare say anything which they'll be accountable for, unless it's lighting a fire/log burner. Dash cam it is.

Wondering about something for inside now
